In Loving Memory of Charles 'Chuck' Schuldiner

Here follows a message from Chuck's family on the anniversary of his death:

May 13, 1967 - December 13, 2001 My dearest Chuck, a beautiful light went out in our world the day you left us, and it has been an awful struggle to go on without you this past year. The pain and emptiness goes on unabated, as you knew it would, but we are trying to be strong, as I promised you. Your fans worldwide have been very supportive, writing to share their feelings and telling me of the positive impact your music had, and still continues to have in their lives. I take some comfort in their words: Chuck will never die, he will always live on through his music. That's a nice thought to keep close, isn't it? There are many memorials and tributes being held around the world for you today, and the fans are taking videos so they can share the memories with me. You would be so proud of them. I love you, son.

Loving and missing you forever, Forgetting you never Until....

Mom and Dad, and beloved sister, Bethann, and nephew, Christopher
